Chapter Twenty Seven: Is this the end?

Heeseung's eyes widened because of riki's text.
gather at the meeting place—riki

He immediately went out of the house and rushed to their place.

“Riki, calm down.” as from what he was hearing, it seemed like they were fighting. “What’s going on here?” Heeseung asked.

Riki pointed at Sunghoon, “Sunghoon.” sighing in between his words, “He hid the information that he was the one who filmed the video.”

Heesueng looked at Sunghoon who was just calm as he was. He didn't look scared, nervous or angry, he seemed fine.

“Sunghoon? Care to explain?” Jungwon told him, “It’s true, I filmed that.” That's what he answered.

Heeseung clenched his fist, “Why the hell would you hide it from us?” It seemed like they were just getting along fine and now, everything turned around.

“Calm down everyone! I just want to ask you sunghoon, why didn't you save her instead of filming?” Jay who was also confused.

“Sunghoon, are you seriously just going to ignore us?” Sunoo, who felt like crying but was stopping his tears.

“I wanted to protect you guys too!” finally, he spoke. “Think about it, If the suspect saw me, there's a possibility that I would be stalked or kidnapped then you guys would have to save me or whatever shit and you guys would also be in danger!

Sure, I was a coward for not saving her. But, admit it, I saved hiraya by giving her justice! I care about her but I also care about you guys more.”

Eveyone went quiet, the atmosphere was enough to zip everyone's mouth close. “And riki.” sunghoon called.

“Nahee is one of the suspects, and if she really is the one who tried to killed Hiraya and I went to her that day, you would've been in great danger.

I didn't only think about her, I imagine everyone who would be blamed if I carelessly went to her.”

Everyone looked to Sunghoon, who's head was down. “I gotta go, Mom needs me.” He stated, then sunghoon left.

“Wait, sunghoon!” Sunoo called, while panting heavily. Sunghoon turned to him with emotionless face.

“I’m sorry for pressuring you to speak up earlier.” With his head down, he said. “And thank you for always thinking about us, I just want to let you know, after this fight, we're always here.”

Sunghoon smiled at him, “I know, sunoo.” there a voice followed, which was kinda unexpected.

“Hyung.” It was riki, sunghoon looked to him and waited for his response. “Do you need anything, riki?” he asked.

He couldn't tell whether he was crying or upset, his head was just down with his fist clenched. “C. .can we talk?”

Riki
It was silent, the cold air was the one filling the awkward atmosphere between them. “H. .hyung, I’m sorry.” sunghoon was taken aback from what he said.

He thought he was angry at him but no he wasn't. “Riki? Why are you suddenly saying sorry?” He asked.

“I don't know but I'm really sorry for earlier. It's just that. . .I got taken aback by my emotions and didn't realise I was fighting you.”

Sunghoon hugged the boy who bursted to tears when he received sunghoon's hug. “It’s okay, I understand riki. You were pressured and you didn't know what to do. I understand you riki, I really do.”

Laughter was finally heard from the two. But will it be also heard from heeseung?

Hiraya
“Don’t worry grandma, I'll be back.” She chuckled. “You better.”

Hiraya packed the things she wanted to bring home to Philippines, she left some in Korea so when she comes back she has extra things.

“Grandma, who's going to take care of you when I'm gone for awhile?” Far or near, she was always worried for her grandma.

“Do not worry about me, beomgyu will always be reliable.” She chuckled, indeed, beomgyu was always a reliable friend.

Packing and cleaning she saw a picture of a girl and boy, with her curiosity filling her up she asked her grandma.

“Hey, grandma! Who's this?” She lend her the picture and suddenly, her grandma cried. “Oh my god, I'm so sorry granmda. I should've been more careful and I should've minded my own business.”

Her grandma shook her head, “No, I'm thankful that you got this back. This picture, it's me and your grandpa.”

“This was when we first met. oh, how lovely that feeling was, I'd do anything to go back to that time.”  Her grandma said, hugging the picture.

“Grandpa must've been so sweet to you.” Hiraya wiped her tears too, she felt moved on how her lovely their relationship was.

“Indeed he is, he treats me like I'm the only woman existing in this universe.”

“I wonder if I could feel that feeling too, with this condition, I think I'm going to die single.” Hiraya's grandma playfully slapped her arms and they both laughed.

“Then take the risk, go on, confess before you leave. Who cares if they reject you? I'd rather risk my life than end up with 'what if's'.”

“I’ll think about it, I'll go back to packing my bags.” Hiraya said.

After packing, hiraya was tired enough to rest and jump on her bed. She sighed, about to sleep she received a call.

“Heeseung?” She asked and answered. “hi.”. a short word from the other line. “Hello, do you need anything?” She asked him.

“No, I just wanted to ask you. You're coming back to Philippines right?” Hiraya agreed.

“I wanted to come with you, maybe for a few days then I'll come back here.” Hiraya didn't know what to answer.

Come with her? like travel together? she thought.

“I. . .what makes you say that all of a sudden?” Heeseung chuckled at her, “Nothing, I just feel like I'll miss you so I wanted to be with you.”

“It’s. . .It’s fine with me, but I don't know with your parents.” What made her agreed? she didn't know either.

“I already discussed it with them, are you really fine with me coming with you?”

“Yeah, I don't want to be a little lonely. See you, heeseung.”

The call ended, hiraya sat down on her bed, she couldn't believe it. traveling with heeseung? she was happy.

Later on, her happiness turned into worry.

She couldn't breathe again, “oh god.” she muttered.

as fast as she could, she went to her drawer and she find her inhaler. the puffs helped her breathe a bit.

“Is this the end?” she thought.
